. On top of that they forced a confrontation over the trusts the day before he was killed and they found out that they were entitled to nothing while he was still alive. QUOTE]

Scary stuff, that.

Very scary stuff and to think they got away with cold blooded murder!

I may be wrong, but somewhere on here I thought it mentioned that AH did have a key to the house. I thought he waited outside for LE because he didn't want to enter the house alone. PB has been my hope too. I guess we could hope that her call sincerely was to check on Bob after the battle the night before.

AH obtained the key from a neighbor. AH did not have a key to Mr. Harrod's house.

So far........

It seems amazing; on the day/evening Bob disappeared, no-one seems to have keys or be willing to enter Bob's house alone. The next two days, family are crawling all over it - doing a clean-up, and heaven only knows what else!

I hope there are some obstruction/evidence tampering charges one day.

Interesting weather in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties recently. Rain, flash floods, landslides....

I wouldn't be surprised if the remains of a long term missing person or two, turns up. It's strange how the earth sometimes brings forth its guilty secrets, as though the burden is too much to bear.

But why didn't grandson have keys to the house? He lived a quarter mile away if that. A non blood relative had keys to Bob's home. Why not a blood relative? I can see why the girls didn't-they had been trying to squeeze him for their mother's portion of the estate once she died. Apparently they didn't understand that Bob and Georgia were each other's beneficiary. On top of that they forced a confrontation over the trusts the day before he was killed and they found out that they were entitled to nothing while he was still alive. With the exception of the personal bequests Georgia made...her jewelry. He had already given them money to stay away from him after Georgia died-paid them to not call or visit. We heard that from a number of sources, including the girls.

PB was the one I had the most hope for-she tipped her father off to RB's plan to imply that he was incompetent or manipulating the assets in the bypass trust. When I read that whole phone call dialog that gives her brother in law an alibi of sorts, my heart sank for her but mostly for Bob. I had a lot of hopes for AH as well-those statements to LE on the day Bob was killed had to show his lack of knowledge. But then his deposition became available and well...

In a nutshell.
Bravo.

Bob's daughter JuM posted on her community forum...

"Nothing new here" and her laptop is overheating so she's not using it for much of anything.

Oh, and she's maintaining her weight.

She must have missed the news about the lovely hummingbird lady and all she's doing to save small creatures up the hill. A talented artist too. Well worthy of news to make you smile. I thought so, anyway.

So far........

Yes Angelo, so far! However, I don't think LE are too motivated.

 

[zwiebel]

I honestly believe charges will be brought in Bob's case one day soon. Whether he's found or not.

That's just a feeling in my bones though, which are rather creaky at the moment. Been a lot of rain and storms my way too.

zwiebel, I thought the same thing this morning when I heard about the weather here.

After we had dinner with the peeps, my bro returned home to LaVerne, at the base of Mount Baldy, 20 minutes from here in Monrovia. He called us to report rain so thick he could not believe it. 4 inches in all. In one evening. Unheard of here.

So I immediately thought of bodies. Cuz we're all just hopeful like that here...:thinking:

 

[zwiebel]

It does happen though - remains wash to the surface in wet weather and floods. It's a macabre way of looking at rain, but that's just what happens when you are concerned about missing people, I guess.

 

[zwiebel]

Yes Angelo, so far! However, I don't think LE are too motivated.

Well, it's LE with a difference investigating Bob's case now...

Well I hope this "Evidence Whisperer" gets going on this and bring justice for Robert!

The transcript of Long Lost Love is online now, I just realized.

[zwiebel]

Paula Harrod Borcher and Roberta Harrod Brady got a credit and profile on the movie site IDMb, because of their role in Long Lost Love. It's so strange to see youngest daughter Julie Michaels name missing though - I got the impression she was always the one with theatrical/dramatic ambitions.

It's just very mysterious why she opted out of appearing in a program trying to help solve the mystery of her Dad's disappearance.

Yes, it is very strange. Perhaps JuM was too busy posting about all her aliments on her community forum.

Even stranger is JeM, the last person to see Mr. Harrod, not appearing in the program. He could have told the viewers all about the mysterious vehicle he saw the morning of Mr. Harrod's disappearance. He could have elaborated on his "home repairs", errands, and the timeline.

Hands up if you think there will be a resurgence if Bob's case really heats up...
